Hi,
Am a newbie to Galaxy and was looking for some basic answers about
Galaxy's offerings till date:
1. Is there any way that I can plug in a small work flow inside
another work flow (sub work flow) in Galaxy?
2. Is there any step wise process documented somewhere to install
Galaxy on Windows?
3. Does Galaxy have any commercial support offered?
4. Which languages can the Galaxy tools be built in? (Java, C, C++,
etc) ?
5. Does Galaxy have any monitoring tools to keep a check on the
process and the statistics at run time?
Answers to any questions above will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Sonali Amonkar

Galaxy does not run on Windows. As a work-around, we recommend using
VirtualBox or another virtualization product and running Linux in it.
Not at this time.
Any language is OK, if the following conditions are met:
1. All parameters, including inputs and outputs, need to be able to be
specified on the command line or in a dynamically-generated config
file.
2. The program doesn't write anything to STDERR unless it's really an
error.
If either of these are untrue, you may need a wrapper, but it can be
written in anything.
There's a script at galaxy-dist/scripts/check_galaxy.py that can be
used
to check that a Galaxy server is up and able to run jobs. It is
invoked
with:
% python ./scripts/check_galaxy.py <server>
On first run, it will explain how to store the email and password of
the
Galaxy account to use.
There's also a script at galaxy-dist/cron/check_galaxy.sh which is a
wrapper for the python script which can be used with cron.
